Our take. Tangerine is one of the cheapest well-reviewed NBN providers in Australia, and the 14-day risk-free trial makes it low-risk to try. If you bring your own modem, make sure it is compatible with your NBN connection type, as Tangerine only offers limited setup help for third-party devices.

Manage your account
Tangerine has a simple online account where you can manage everything yourself. Log in with your email address and mobile number, then complete two-factor authentication using your email or phone.
Getting started
Sign up online at tangerinetelecom.com.au. You will need your name and contact details, address, a valid driver licence and a preferred connection date.
If your property is already connected to the NBN, activation usually takes one to three business days. A new connection can take one to three weeks while a technician activates the line; that visit is free. New developments may attract an NBN new development fee.
Existing customers can move their plan online: check that the new address is eligible, then submit the move with your old and new addresses and dates. Tangerine handles the switchover and cancels the old service.
Tangerine does not charge a relocation fee. A connected address reconnects in one to three business days, though a newly developed, non-NBN-ready property may incur a $275.00 fee.

Most enquiries can be handled in your online account, including cancellations and moves. For a quick answer, call the customer care team or use the 24/7 live chat.
